Best Kodhipparu Hotels

We chose the ocean water villa to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The positive side, the resort provided a lovely small cake for the occasion, arranged a photo session with a photographer and the food and drinks were delicious. The resort itself was spotless, and our host (Osama) was excellent, addressing all of our questions and a great guy! Major downside was the lack of privacy; the key reason we booked the ocean water villa was for privacy. Despite the website stating that drones are not allowed, drones were consistently used throughout the resort. One drone came within a few meters of our room and recorded us on the balcony and inside the room, clearly violating our privacy (see pictures, can't upload videos). I called the front desk who said they will let security know & later that day , another drone was hovering near the beach, recording the area again. I spoke to one of the workers, who said they would inform the front desk, but I could see the drone operator from the other side of the venue and resort staff stood nearby without taking any action for breach the rule. The frequent drone usage really compromised the privacy, especially in the premium rooms and was quite loud. I would recommend opting for a more basic room or venue if privacy is important to you. I understand that the resort is beautiful and drone footage captures it wonderfully, but the resort should consider allowing recording only at specific times and in designated areas, under supervision, to ensure privacy is respected and not compromised. That said, aside from the drone issue, the resort is lovely and conveniently close to the airport.

I decided to travel during the National Day holiday and chose this hotel. The hotel provides speedboat transfers, which makes it easy to choose flights. The island is well-equipped, and the gym, water entertainment, dining, and water houses are all beyond my expectations. I recommend this hotel.

The weather is too bad and the hotel water house is good. The sand house is generally very rusty and not delicate. The hotel environment is not recommended because there are too many boats nearby and you can see the city of Male without the feeling of a water island and the land is too close at night Looking around, the lighting of the building in the distance is very poor. If the hotel on the four islands of Madai is the worst environment

The rooms are average, the food and beverages are not rich but the products are excellent. The snorkeling environment is very good, you can see sharks and turtles. The service is pretty good, the room and yard are cleaned very well. The island is very small and only takes 10 minutes to walk around. You can participate in the hotel's snorkeling, fishing, and dolphin watching at reasonable prices. There is a gym but no swimming pool.

Amazing stay at Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives. Brand new island resort, only recently opened a few months ago. The smiling, helpful team at Centara make you able to leave all worries behind and fully enjoy a carefree holiday in paradise. It is the team that makes hotel/resort stay great, and you can feel the positive energy of all the staff encountered. Most notably Emmi and Nicha from the Front Office when above and beyond to make our stay extra special. The whimsical design, inspired by the sea and marine life gives the resort a very happy, relaxed vibe. Designed as a haven for families to enjoy the Maldives, it's also great for couples to get away from the world. Fantastic choice for wonderful holiday, such a happy Maldives holiday experiance, with touches of the Thai hospitality that Centara is famous for.

The first island I visited in Maldives, the impression was beyond my expectation. I experienced sea fishing, spa, participated in a party, watched local singing and dancing performances, and watched fish in the jelly sea every day. The environment is very good. Some frangipani flowers fall in the yard every day and are placed in the room. There are many cute hermit crabs on the beach. Although they are all sand houses, you can also experience the infinity pool and net bed in the Japanese restaurant. The food is also rich, with many dishes and good taste. The staff on the island are very polite and friendly. There are small surprises every night when I go back. I gave the little turtle refrigerator magnet and bookmarks. I bought Banyan Tree aromatherapy cups and soaps on the island. The best thing is that the island will arrange speedboats according to the time, and there will be people to pick up and drop off at the airport. You can also rest in the public area after checking out, avoiding the embarrassment of being put in Male early and doing nothing. My English is not very good, but I can go ahead with confidence. Everyone is very patient and enthusiastic. I saw two beautiful sunsets here. I think I will always remember this wonderful time. See you~Vabbinfaru

Hello, We stayed at Centara to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything was just more than our expectations. I chose Centara Ras Fushi as it’s close to the airport and hardly takes 20-25 mins by the speedboat. You don’t need a seaplane transfer. It costed us 155 USD per head for return speedboat transfer plus other environmental taxes. Firstly when we arrived, everything was taken care of and Liane from the Philipines 🇵🇭 welcomed us and guided us about the resort and the facilities. She took us to our water villa. Our water villa had everything but I was a bit disappointed as there wasn’t a bath tub and I didn’t choose the water villa with jacuzzi assuming we had a bath tub. Never mind 😌 They had upgraded our water villa to sunset water villa. It was amazing. We had direct access to water. We enjoyed the view from the room. They have amazing restaurants in the resort. I loved the buffet. Breakfast was great with variety. They have different themes everyday. The Khaimah - Arabic food tent was great too. Maaz treated us really well there. Also, in the Larozza-Italian restaurant, Anfau was very warm and kind to us. Yaya from The Thai restaurant was cute. We loved all the cuisines and it was delicious. We chose the all inclusive package which covered all the meals and the drinks. Our rooms were cleaned twice a day and everything was just perfect. Shohail was amazing and he made sure we are comfortable in our rooms. Our room was also decorated by him and we were given a cake and sparking juice to celebrate our anniversary. We will surely come back. Thank you so much Centara ♥️ 🏝️ 🌊

Stayed two nights (approximately 2.3w RMB) and concluded that it is a low cost hotel. A. The island is not big. There are two restaurants, one Japanese and one chowder. The ingredients are fresh and expensive (based on the per capita consumption of domestic restaurants, the unit is changed from RMB to US dollars, which is the price of his home), but the taste is really average and the whole is salty. There are not many varieties of dishes. B. Transportation on the island: The airport can be reached by speedboat in 35 minutes, roundtrip USD 357 / person, reaching the price of other long distance hotels by water. Annoyingly, when the first day arrived, the hotel actually said that our ticket was shared and we had to wait for the 4 passengers who accompanied us (their flight is expected to arrive in 1.5 hours). After serious negotiations over the phone, he finally arranged to go directly to the island. If you are not fluent in English, you can only be dumb. C. The snorkeling environment is average, especially in the snorkelling area. Many corals are bleached. The snorkeling area is also very small. Even if it enters the live coral area, there are not too many species of fish. It can be regarded as Samsung (Sand House) or Four Star (Water House) snorkeling. Been to the best snorkeling in Ihulu Island. D. For hotels without a reception desk, everything is handled by the butler. The steward is Chinese who speaks Chinese and the service is not one-on-one. Another Chinese couple was also hosted by the housekeeper. The service attitude is very good, although some things will be forgotten, it is probably too busy, there is no big problem in this regard. I still prefer the way to find the front desk. E. The room is really nice, the area is large enough, and the pool bathtub is available. But this is probably the only strong point of this hotel. F. The quality of all service staff is very good. Polite and professional. Summary: Suitable for those who care about the room type, have no high requirements for snorkeling, are relatively wealthy and do not care about the cost-effective tourists. The hotel itself is not bad, the price is too high. . . For tourists who have been to the Maldives many times, this one is really not worth it. I really have more money and burned my head. This is a big insight after my trip.

Perfect stay in paradise! Kudos to Shafeeq for the great housekeeping, twice a day! We were lucky to join Bandos 52nd Anniversary Celebrations and met so many friendly staff members and returning guests. Reef was great for snorkelling. We will be back.
